Jensen is shown pointing out one of two holes' left in lower plates of false teeth of unidentified woman found near Palm Springs with her head bashed in. The holes were from her only two natural teeth, the first bicuspids on each side. Detective Sgt. Robert Presleys is shown with Jensen. Riverside County Sheriff Seeks Identity Of Corpse was dead five to seven days be fore her body was discovered, nr. Thcmas E. Jones, county patholo- Hiai, ia sne naa Deen bludgeon ed in the back of the head by an instrument resembling a tire iron, and she was dead two nr thr. hours before her body was thrown wvn me ciuuaiijcineni, proDaDiy by two men. Investigators . reported findlno- marks in the dirt, left hv her knees or heels, leading to the edge of the clilf, located on the sel- dom traveled road two miles south oi atate Highway 74 and n miles south of Palm Springs. itoDDery may nave been the mo tive for the brutal killing, depu ties say. The woman's nurse is still missing, and she was wearing no rings or wrisiwatch when found. Only a small piece of cos tume jewelry was found on her blue cotton dress' a "sunburst" brooch of silver petals covered by IS simulated diamonds surround- ng- a blue stone. But the nrimarv olues now are her upper and lower plates of false teeth. Missing in the lower plate is the first bicuspid on each side. the only two natural teeth she had left in her head. Coroner Ben White describes the woman as white, five feet even to S'l" tall, weighing 135 to 140 pounds, of rather plump build, hav ing gray-orown nair and brown eyes. The autopsy revealed she had no surgical scars and had borne a cniid at some time. investigators say the woman was wearing a sleeveless dress. full length stockings, size '? san dal type white shoes with the brand name "California Sun-Dials" and a corset type brassier, size 36-C, from Sears & Roebuck. Her dress was of the "Forever Young" style, a "Puritan" brand, with 34-inch belt. Dental technicians say the wom an's plastic teeth were made by Myerson Tooth Co. and the gums, made of acrylic plastic, contain tiny nylon fibers to give them a natural appearance. Age ot the plates is estimated at one month to more than a year, and they are believed to have been made in a dental laboratory and not by a dentist. An uncommon feature of the lower plate Is that there Were no clasps or wires connecting with the two natural bicuspids. Technicians have noted an un usally wide "relief area" to ac commodate the bony structure of the palate, although the bony structure protrudes little more than is common. The experts agree that from the apperance of the plates the wom an did not smoke. Tuie Bird Processing Plant Open TULELAKE Extensive expan sion and improvement of Cier's Wildfowl Processing plant has been completed in time -for open ing of the migratory waterlowl season. October 15. This plant is completely equipped for complete handling of birds from the time they are brought for picking to arrival at their des tination. The plant is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cler. The receiving room has been enlarged to three limes Us orig inal size with wide receiving coun ters and attractive display shelves for wild plum preserves. A new large walk-in cooler for storage can handle 350 birds. Al phabetically arranged wooden pegs will eliminate time in locating birds. A quick Freeze unit is avail able for preparing birds for ship- ijnent. Refrigeration was installed by the D k K Refrigeration Com pany. Alturas. Three electrically operated pick ers are used. Mrs. Cier who han dles one unit can pluck 40-50 birds per hour. Last year 17.000 went through the plant yielding 900 pounds ol feathers. These go to a leather processing firm in Chica go to be used for aviator's and hunter's clothing, feather, pillows and numerous other commercial products. Birds are dressed, chilled, packed and shipped to all parts ot the U.S. The plant Is state inspect ed.

The student's name is Kuttalanarayanan and his family call him Kuttalan as a nickname. Student From South India Attending Klamath's OTf Oregon Bank Debits Rise UNIVERSITY OF OREGON Information collected from five banks in the Klamath Falls, Lakeview bank district revealed a 2.4 per cent increase of August, bank debits compared to the Au gust, 1954 debit total. The Klamath and Lake region Sreported an August total of $28. 015.249 in debits while 127,357,175 was the August, 1954. total. A 8.5 per cent decrease was noted in comparing the August and July totals for 1955. Every area in the state showed an increase over the August, 1954 total with the Upper Columbia Riv er area, which includes Hood Riv er and The Dalles banks, noting the highest gain of 25.7 per cent. Total debits for the state, compiled from 12 districts, amounted to $1,557,666,543, a 20.4 per cent in crease over last August s total. Bank debits represent the dollar value of checks drawn against the deposit accounts of individuals and business firms. These debits are regarded as good indicators of cur rent business activity, although their value for this purpose may be Impaired by the inclusion of large checks arising out of trans fers of funds or the purchase of certain types of capital assets that do not constitute "business activi ty." They are collected monthly by the University of Oregon bu reau of business research from 149 banks and branches through out Oregon. Farm Marketings Show Decrease Farmers received about 4 per cent less from marketings in the first 8 months of 1955, than in the corresponding period last year. The total volume of farm mar ketings during the first 8 months was about t per cent larger than year earlier, but prices of farm products averaged almost 5 per cent lower. In 1954. total gross farm income was about 1 per cent less than in 1953, continuing the decline which began in 1952. Production expenses in 1954 were a little lower than in 1953 but not enough to offset the decline In farm income. Thus net farm to con e was a little below 1953.

DREWS Mansrore "Communism is losing ground in India," declared Kuttalanaray anan a student from south India who enrolled last week In the auto mechanics course at Oregon lecn nical Institute. 'Communism thrives where the people live in poverty," he ex plained, "aad in India the indus trial and economic condition of the country is rapidly improving.'' He told of fine roads and high ways being built, dams construct ed and "more land coming under the plow." Ke and his brother operate 1,500 acres oi rice paddy land in the vicinity of their home town of Shi yali which has a population of ap proximately 15.000 persons. They own one .tractor and the remain der of the labor is performed by hand, he said. They have about 1.800 workers and nearly 90 per cent of them live in houses the brothers furnish as landlords. He added the government of In dia has increased koin 30 to 50 per cent the portion of the pro-1 ceeds allotted to sharecroppers in the rice-producing areas. A graduate of the University of Madias at Madras City in the southern part of this country, he stated he wishes to learn auto me chanics In order to establish an automobile repair shop and serv ice station at Madras City. His home town is about 200 miles from Madras. Asked by Bob Smith, dean of men at OTI, how he happened to sentl in an application for enroll ment at OTI, Kuttalan replied that a friend oi his is a student at Michigan State. His friend learned of Oregon Tech through the stu dents' information service and could get the desired training here in Klamath Palls. His wife, Pun ithaualli, has remained at their home estete which is called Venus. Kuttalan explained Uiat most of the Indian names are taken from the names of gbds. His own name Is a combination. Kuttalan might be translated into English as "it water falls," he said, and the last part was taken from the name of an Indian god. In India, a man is called by his given name, there being no surnames. To distinguish between persons with the same given name, the first letter of the father's given name is used as an initial to precede, the given name of the sons and daughters. , Common names in India, cor responding with such names as Bill, Jonn and George In this coun try, are Muthian. Raman and Na tal a jan, he explained. His wife's name, translated into English, means "chaste," He calls her Punugu. They have no chil dren. Kuttalan toured Europe for near ly five months on his way to the United States and spent two months In and around London be fore leaving there by plane on Sep tember 23. He arrived here Sun day, September 25. "I like it heve In Klamath Falls." the 26-year-old student declared. "The people are informal and cor dial just like they are In my home country." A pure vegetarian, he admitted that eating is presenting the great' est problem he has encountered.
